These measures have been rendered
necessary by the heavy toll
which suicide via the "water method"
has taken during April and May,
when the Danube snuffed out the lives
of 150 persons. _ The alarmed government
held a special council -meeting,
and the flotilla resulted.

SUICIDE WITH STOCKING
Vouiik Artist Take* Life While Denpondeiit
Over Work
New York, July 30.?Relieving herbell
u failure on the steep road to
artistic eminence she had set herself,
Marvyl Egland, a serious, inoody woman
of twenty-live, put an end to a
week of sleepless brooding yesterday
when she made a siipnoose of her
chiffon stocking and strangled herself
to death while visiting friends.
Miss Egland, chestnut-haired and
of medium height, whose parents,
Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Egland, Jive in
(tlenvillc, Minn., was to have enrolled
in ( olurnbia university summer
school to continue her art studies.
A mooch ago, friends of the dead
girl said, ufter having attended Barnard
college a year, she went to Camp
\V aldeu at Denmark, Me. There she
taught art to classes of children to
earn money for the summer tuition,
fehe returned from Maine Saturday
evening.
Learning that her chum, Miss
Catherine Lewis, a staff member of
the Studio club, had left the day before
on a vacation until September,
Miss Egland called oh Miss Alice
Moudy, of Terre Haute, Ind., with
whom she formerly had taught school
in that city. Miss Moudy and four
women friends from Terre Haute had
rented an apartment from Dr. Gerald'
Shibley, professor in the College of
Physicians and Surgeons, for the
summer months.
It was 11:30 p. m. when Miss Egland
arrived at. the apartment. .She
was depressed and haggard, according
to Miss Moudy, a middle aged
woman, and asked for sleeping powders,
complaining that she had not
slept in more than a week. They had
no sleeping powders but gave her
warm milk and sent her to bed, hoping
sleep would dispel her nervously
depressed condition.
Then, at 4 o'clock in the morning,
Miss Moudy awoke and saw a light
in Miss Egland's room. She found
the girl sitting on the edge of her
bed dressed in negligee, ner head
sunk in her hands, sobbing. Miss
Moudy tried to comfort her and then
Miss Egland poured forth a confession
of her failure to make enough
money so that she could devote all
her time to art study, failure to sell
any of her pictures, failure to realize
her life ambition.
Not until 5:80 a. m. did Miss
Moudy leave the girl, who was then
apparently in better spirits.
At 9 o'clock she knocked on the
door to call Miss Egland to breakfast.
There was no response. She
entered the room and found Miss Egland
stretched c n her bed, her right
hand rigidly clutching one end of a
chiffon stocking looped about her
neck.
Apparently only a short time before,
Miss Egland had made a noose
of her stocking and relentlessly pulled
it tighter and tighter about her
neck, choking herself. Dr. Halton
Stathers, pronounced the girl dead.
Assistant Medical Examiner M. E.
Fisher ordered the. body taken to the
morgue for an autopsy, and the
parents of the girL. were notified. _
Miss Kinksberry, staff member of
the Studio club, said frequently in
the past Miss Egland had become
very much discouraged over her fail-'
ure to sell her pictures, and had asked
her advice Saturday as to the best
way of reaching a market for her
artistic efforts. She had expressed
dissatisfaction and discouragement
over her teaching work saying that
teaching children art was "out of my
line." When she left, she said, apparently
referring to her art study:
"I made my decision coming down
on the train."

Judge Featherstone's Reasons
Judge C. C. Featherstone, one of.
the staunchest prohibitionists, per-'
sonally and from a standpoint of political
principle, some time ago de-'
clared his purpose to support the
nominees of the Democratic party.
As a matter of fact Judge Featherstone
announced that he would vote
for A1 Smith if nominated, several
days before the New York Governor
was selected as the standard bearer.
We are interested just now, however,
in his reasons for sticking to the
party. Coming > from A ,man like
Judge Featherstone, a leading dry
and one of the first citizens of the
state, an expression of this kind car^o
ries weight.
Here are Judge FeatherBtones reasons'jfor
voting for A1 Slfoith:
"Firfct, I am a Democrat, always
have been and always expect to be.
J don't conscientiously vote the Republican
ticket nor will I give it half
vote by refusing to vote at all.
"I am old enough t to remember,
though I was a small boy, what the
Republicans did for us in Reconstruction
days.
"Second, I cannot afford to stay out
of the primary and thus lose my right
to cast my vote for the men whom t
regard as best fitted to "serve "my
state and country.
4 "I am interested, vitally interested,
in keeping the nation-and state dry,
but I an\ equally interested in having
in office, county and state, the men
who are best qualified therefor, and
in keeping incompetent, unfit men out
of office. *
"As I see it, good conscientious!
voters in South Carolina who do not
go into the primary and vote will
thereby do far more harm to their
state and nation, than they will by
voting for A1 Smith.
"If several thousand refuse to vote
in the primary, they will play into
the hands of the unfit and incompetent,
With a posible disastrous result
to' the state and counties.
"I expect to vote in the primary,
and for thfc nominee of the Democratic
national^ convention."?Florence

Cops Chase Nude Bathers
Great Neck, L. I ,-July 29.?Four
young couples, sans bathing attire
were routed by N<as8au county police
at 3:40 o'clock this morning from the
pool in the Kensingstou district here
whose residents, most of them wealthy,
are barred from bathing in the
poo) by a village ordinance.
No arrests were made, but the
bathers were warned not to repeat
the offense.
--*? Roused by the shouts and laughtier
of the bathers and the hashing I
of lights on the bank of the pool, one i
of the residents sent a servant to investigate.
The report of his discovery j
| shocked and angered his employer, j
i who, telephoned to police.
No a'ction was taken until more
than a dozen other complaints were
received at police headquarters in
Mineola. Then tw^ automobiles filled
with policemen hurried over to
the pool. There, clad only in moonbeams,
the policemen found the young
folks disporting themselves in the
water and laughing and shouting.
I When police approached Beveral of
the girls screamed and risked drowni
lgg. by trying to submerge too long,
j The bathers refused to budge until
the police withdrew.
The patrolmen turned their backs
and then the bathers ran from the
water and piled into a Rolls-Royce
and two other expensive cars parked
on the bank. After the bathers had.
dressed, the police busied themselves
taking names and issuing warnings.
PoHce let it be known that nude
bathing in the pool will not be permitted
and to see that it does not
become a fad, left a patrolman 011
guard. Police said the bathing episode
was the grand climax of a dinner
party in Kensington.
Protecting the Egg Beater
Put only the ends of the. rotary egg
beater in water, being careful to keep
the cofrs and wheels dry, or they will
rust. X
To Peel Onions Quickly
If you will drop onions into scalding
water for a few seconds before
peeling the hard outer skin will come
off very easily. "
